Question

How do I extract the shrinkage value

Does anyone know how, or if it's possible, to extract the shrinkage value from a part, as a parameter?  This has to be stored as a system parameter value somewhere in the model.  I'd like to be able to show the general shrinkage value on our prints.

 

Thanks,

Rob

Parameters for Shrinkage are  X_SHRINK_FACTOR/ Y_SHRINK_FACTOR/ Z_SHRINK_FACTOR and these are feature level parameters. 

 

I think Article CS153684 ​​​​​​​can help you.

    Thank you very much MaheshSh.  That works great when using the "By scaling" shrinkage option.  Unfortunately, and what I neglected to mention, is that we use the "By Dimension" shrinkage option in our designs.  Is there anyway to find out what the "All Dimensions" ratio is that is  listed in the "Shrinkage By Dimension" table?

     

    Thanks,

    Rob

    To obtain information about the shrinkage applied, click Analysis >Shrinkage Information on the Mold or Cast tab.
